For three days now I have been trying to get wamp to work with a windows 7 64 bit operating system. I have read all the forums and I read some where that I can use port 81 instead of 80. The wamp icon goes green when I use port 81 but with 80 the icon is orange, I think apache starts with port 80 because i get stop service or sometimes both start and stop service but sql doesnt want to start utnil today when it started and the wamp icon turned greem, which is good when i test port 80 the blinking line just keeps going but doesnt say what service is using port 80 and local host doesnt load i tried with port 80 [localhost] just localhost and just localhost:80 same with 81 its the same in the browser before it didnt lod the please wait cirle just turned and nothing happened so I can the service to run i think ( if when the icon turns green it means its running properly) but localhols just doesnt want to load.

That typically means something is already listening on port 443 (SSL). You need to identify that program and stop/reconfigure or reconfigure Apache to use a different SSL port (I don't know how WAMP is arranged so I cannot help you there)

Open a command prompt (Start > Run > cmd) and run the following to see if you can identify which program in the local address column is using port 443:
